Start by writing a system of equations. The first equation should be 1/2x+8y=3.75 and the second one should be 3/2x+4y=6.25
x=7/2 and y=1/4
The bait costs $3.50 per pound and the hooks cost $0.25 each.
Answer:
6×10^(-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the perimeter is the sum of all sides. So lenght+length+width+width = 2length+2width.
Let's call the width x. If the length is 4m longer, then it's x+4.
We know the perimeter, so we can make an equation:
56=2x+2(x+4)
And solve from there:
56=2x+2x+8
56=4x+8
48=4x
48/4=x
x=12
The width, which is x, is 12 m. And the length, x+4, is 16 m.
You can check this is correct by calculating the perimeter using those values: 12+12+16+16=56.
